Murderous Droids Slaughter Innocent Ambassador

One of two spacecraft suspected of intercepting and destroying diplomatic mission to Arkanis sector.

VASCH SYSTEM - During an attempted diplomatic mission to a key system in the anarchic Arkanis sector, the ambassadorial shuttle was intercepted by droid controlled spacecraft and destroyed. Criminal elements are suspected in the planning and programming of this heinous act.

Seeking to reestablish frayed relations between the Empire and wayward systems of the Arkanis sector, the mission had been dispatched in the hope of a diplomatic breakthrough. The interception of this mission is a clear sign that the criminal and rebel elements intend to hold the peaceful systems of the Arkanis sector hostage to their hateful ideology of crime and separatism.

The droid spacecraft are held to be fugitives from justice and anyone associated with these droids will be held accountable to the full extent of Imperial law enforcement. Bounty hunters seeking to be on the right side of the law are encouraged to hunt down said droids, as they are listed as being wanted - functioning or deactivated.

For many Imperial veterans, this is a stark reminder of the war fought to maintain unity in the galaxy, sometimes referred to as the Clone War. The use of droids as targeted killing machines has since been explicitly and forcefully outlawed by the Empire, yet in the Arkanis sector, where rebels and criminals run amok, these droids appear to still be employed by those seeking to erode Imperial authority.

Reports that Imperial elements sought to dissuade the diplomatic mission are baseless and scurrilous and anyone spreading such rumors should brush up on their spice-mining skills.
